Otherwise, it's just more typing. The > syntax choices section of the RFC has been updated accordingly. Since some people still don't grok the use cases, I've written a blog post to make the case for them better than a detail-oriented RFC can. https://peakd.com/hive-168588/@crell/the-case-for-partials-and-pipes-in-php There has also been some positive Twitter chatter, as well as the level of +1s on that post (which is, I think, the highest of any PHP post I've had on there, ever), so I think the demand for it is definitely there in the ecosystem. It's just not people who frequent Internals. :-/ I'd say there are definitely people that want to use partials. --Larry Garfield
